Jason quietly opened the door to the indoor pool, finding Kimberly floating peacefully, her elbows resting on the wall as her legs kicked slowly and rhythmically underwater. "Hey." He called. She lifted her head and smiled softly. "How you feeling?"

Kim lifted her head, looked him in the eyes, then plopped her head back onto her arm. "Fine."

Jason slipped into the water and leaned against the wall beside her. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine." She hissed. A long silence followed. Kim rolled her eyes and sighed. "I don't want you to fall in love with me. And I don't want to fall in love with you."

Jason narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Why not? We're old enough."

"It's not that." Kim shook her head. "It's dangerous, Jason. We risk our lives every single night." She looked into Jason's brown eyes, her own trembling with sorrow. "What if one of us dies?" She took a shaky breath. "I don't want to fall in love, just to go through that pain."

"Kimmy..." Jason placed his hand on her shoulder and stroked smooth skin rhythmically. "You can't live like that. In fear of losing people you love. Not just me, but anyone." He chuckled. "Besides..." He grasped her chin gently and turned his head toward him, eyeing her lips. "You're already in love."
